    Because credibility is central and R441F contemplates reading evidence in a brief, the judge ordered that Mr Fava must read the parts of his brief on which the plaintiffs wish to rely (those agreed with counsel), refused to treat the remainder as simply taken as read, and directed a limited delay for counsel to agree which parts will be read and to commence reading with provision to adjourn if unannotated ABD references are reached; admissibility objections remain open and may lead to exclusion of parts of the brief.
